Tasty? I dunno. I know I like raw oysters, though...

Yes, I'd eat them, but no snails or slugs though. When the cicadas are hatching the dogs eat them. The birds eat them. The fish eat them. Some folks will saute them and eat them.

Sounds like that long gone tribe of Indians living on the upper coastal plains of Texas…bad hunters and could not learn to fish so they lived on grasshoppers.

“In the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, chapulines – toasted grasshoppers – stand out as a beloved seasonal treat...”

Good for them. I’ll pass.

No. I don’t give a crap what it was cooked in, dipped in, or injected with.
